Waverly Place, New York, NY 10014

Spectacular Single Family Home in the Heart of the West Village, 247 Waverly Place is a preservationist's dream home, boasting original details throughout. The home was built in 1888 by famed architect William B. Tuthill (Carnegie Hall) in the Romanesque Revival style. The owners have paid special attention to the ornate work throughout the home and have tastefully restored the moldings, facade, and the foyer. All windows were just replaced, matching their original features and updated with noise reducing thermal pane glass.Central AC flows through all four floors and the exterior of the home was recently tuck-pointed, making the home's red bricks stand out. Special highlights include a dry basement with a wine cellar, an outdoor patio off the dining room and a master suite on the fourth floor.The ground floor entrance opens into a mud room/hallway leading into the kitchen complete with breakfast nook which can double as a work space. There is a powder room and laundry on the ground floor and the open kitchen flows into the formal dining room. The dining room is large enough to host elaborate dinner parties. It leads out to the private patio, a bucolic escape from our hectic NYC streets. Entering the parlor level via the stoop you're first greeted by the recently restored nine paneled door.
